Grapefruit vs. Belly Fat

A Fruit That Burns Belly Fat

Umm, well today, TFC will be more like biology class because we're going to observe the knowledge of a fruit THAT BURNS BELLY FAT!!

Here it is..

The grapefruit diet that was so popular several years

ago is a fad that refuses to go away.

Consisting of mainly grapefruit (plus a little protein), it is a

definitively unbalanced plan. However, recent scientific

evidence shows that a grapefruit a day may indeed keep

the body fat away.

Full of fiber (12 grams per whole grapefruit) and low on

the glycemic index (meaning it digests slowly and doesn't

spike insulin levels a great deal), grapefruit packs a lot of

antioxidant punch in a small package.

A recent study from the Scripps Clinic in San Diego studied

the effects of both grapefruit extract and fresh grapefruit

on 100 obese volunteers.

After eating just 1 ½ grapefruits daily for 12 weeks, the

fresh grapefruit group lost an average of 3.5 pounds

while the placebo group lost less than half a pound.

Tip: Add a large grapefruit to your morning breakfast

(or for a snack), to win the battle of the bulge.

Note: Grapefruit has been shown to prevent the

absorption of several types of medications, so if you

take any regular medications and would like to start

incorporating grapefruit into your eating program, check

with your pharmacist or doctor first.
